ETA: LE are consistently quiet in this particular case. Is this an active investigation into a murder yet? Surely this would be information the public can know. COD or no COD, Jen didn't cause her own death.
I agree SA, but as you say they have been consistently quiet - It's only just been over a week. I think we have to assume they know what they are doing, even if they aren't telling us.
Some posters were saying that it sometimes takes months or more for them to let the public in on the COD. I hope that's not the case here.
